the indian foreign ministry saying that they had to carry out a preemptive strike in pakistan in pakistan administered made on jaish e mohammad because they had alerted the pakistani government many times to where the group was operating what it was doing and that the pakistan pakistani government wasn't doing anything about them. well that's exactly it india didn't want to actually get to the situation that really having today they said they're strike on tuesday was actually preemptive they had intelligence of the armed group jaish e mohammed as you mentioned carried out the suicide bombing earlier this month that this was a preemptive attack against them and also that it was a nonmilitary they use that specific word a non military air strike saying that it was not targeting any pakistani military or civilian infrastructure or installations and they've been scoping that that would have been enough to kind of deescalate the situation to keep tensions from going up even further but as we've seen from today's events that didn't quite happen is what they wanted fast thank you very much for t

just from freedom what else the russian foreign ministry said or basically the spokesman for the russian foreign ministry maria however has called this situation a critical and she's saying that it is basically because the united states already amassing weapons on the border of venezuela and really they're doing everything she says to create this sense of urgency and really it can be seen how for example president want to be why you don't know how he's adding fuel to the flames saying that the deadline for the to and to the country is saturday so really everything is playing into this narrative all at the same time donald trump from washington is trying to talk about israel and military into treason effectively. mistresses assure ourselves that the u.s. is deliberately making the situation worse by making out there we are beyond the point of no return the u.s. president's direct appeal to the venezuelan army to ignore the orders of diligent head of state is the height of cynicism. imagine addressing the u.s. army with an appeal for example not to be the commander in chief well at the sam

that is the question of the day martin we've heard from various sources within the foreign ministry that the former foreign minister was very unhappy because he wasn't invited to this meeting that was held last night between syrian president and the supreme leader now in those pictures we see bashar al assad meeting harmony with the president hassan rouhani as well as the head of the thoughts force awesome soleimani had clearly been very muslim out yeah he wasn't invited there is indications from within people from within the foreign ministry saying he didn't even know this was happening and he wasn't invited and also we know that he's been trying to resign for a while he's been unhappy for a while but he chose a very visual platform to announce his resignation and that is instagram and usually these kinds of resignations go through more of official channels and letter submitted to the presidency and then the supreme leader accepts it or not so it's very interesting a very surprising move and it was only last week wasn't it when he was at the munich conference that he was railing visibly

foreign ministry. you know. it's the. school. or you're against a common threat i mean you. know obviously as far as the israelis are concerned that is something that's significant however as far as the our people be concerned obviously there's a lot of condemnation that has come. from. journalists the other an a list that have expressed their disdain towards what they call normalization with the israeli occupation the second question aside from iran that is trying to be discussed in this conference is that palestinian question we're meant to hear some words from the senior advisor to the white house on middle east affairs jerrold question who is meant to be in all of this deal of a century that has been spoken about for so long but with a little information the palestinian authority is only actually boycotting this conference their foreign minister said that they wouldn't be attending because of the bias here cues washington of taking with regards to the situation there or in the moving of the u.s. embassy to illegally occupied jerusalem as well as the closing of the p.l.o.

is no going back no concession now contrast this with a different message going out from the foreign ministry which talks of a multifaceted approach to all countries in the future to move the revolution forward and this is from the foreign ministry it talks about the importance. of independence which is the key factor in the revolution it talks about not being bullied not being pushed and also basically puts a more dove like perspective on the issue but says no way will foreign powers influence decisions made by the islamic republic so there you have it you have the foreign ministry giving one impression you get then another impression from the supremes leader's main force which is the the revolutionary guards and now the country will start to look back on forty years it will be a cold loss or celebration of modern day but looking forward well there's a hard edge to it. on such your question once more yes things are now worse than ever because of the policy because of that decision to actually turn around them abandon that nuclear deal from twenty fifteen which in may was dispense with and th

otherwise we've heard from various officials both within the president's office as well as the foreign ministry saying that this resignation is not acceptable the president has not accepted this attempt by the foreign minister to leave his position and that the instagram post is not an official way for a minister to ask the government to leave office so of course has any has not accepted this as an official resignation attempt by the foreign minister and of course this is not the first time we're hearing that the foreign minister has tried to leave his job he said that in the past he's come under very very heavy criticism as you mentioned about the nuclear agreement iran signed with the p five plus one in two thousand and fifteen a lot of the conservative voices in the islamic republic were very much opposed to this agreement saying that iran did not get everything you could have and that somehow zarif and the rouhani government were tricked into signing this agreement that is not the best deal for iran but of course the foreign minister being adamant that he did the best that he could and this

the reason that the african foreign ministry summoned. the embassador was for his remarks just like you said but the other reason is that the afghan government looks at. the taliban as a proxy off the pakistani government and back and taliban on the other hand if you recall when mohammad been sort of man was dead in pakistan the taliban were supposed to meet and run khan and mohammed bin sunline but they can so did citing that the afghan government that the afghan government sort of rejected their troubles because they are under do you travel bans the taliban proved that they are and dependent and they are not and did the pakistani and the pakistani influence and also the saudi influence and they are a cancer to the. talks that what happened what was supposed to happen two weeks ago let me come with a final question to you because there are signs that the u.s. and the taliban have agreed in principle on the withdrawal of u.s. troops but reports indicate the president may be looking to withdraw perhaps half of those troops by the summer is
